The catalog file contains detailed platform information on HP commercial desktops, notebooks, and workstations. It can be used with the software update features of Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager and Updates Publisher or System Center Essentials to provide automated driver and patch updates to HP-managed Clients.

HP Driver Packs

HP Driver Packs contain the necessary Microsoft Windows drivers required to support the HP hardware platform(s) as listed in the release notes for each of the driver packs. The package contains drivers supporting both the integrated and add-in devices in an .INF-based installation format. This INF installation method can be used standalone or with bare-metal operating system deployment tools that require .INF-based drivers.

Note: Some hardware devices have additional software tools to help enhance the experience of using the device. For example, a graphics control center application. These software tools cannot be installed via INF method and must be manually installed after the drivers to get the best overall experience.
